Marina Sitrin, author of Horizontalism, on the Significance of IAS Support for Writing

by diggers16 on February 24, 2015

Marina Sitrin, author of Horizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina (AK Press: 2006) is a past recipient of an Institute for Anarchist Studies (IAS) writing grant. She has this to say about the financial and political support she received from the IAS: “The funding I received from the IAS made all the difference in my being able to compile and write what became Horizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina. It was the financial support for sure, but also the confidence that a group of people had in the project that gave me the extra push I needed to complete the work.”

If you haven’t yet supported the Institute for Anarchist Studies with a generous donation, please do so now, so we can continue to support radical writers who lack other forms of support, to enable them to make awesome contributions such as Marina’s book!
